Abstract excerpt
Background: Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) promoter mutations play a role in carcinogenesis and are found in both tumors and cancer cell lines. TERT promoter methylation, transcription factor binding, chromatin remodeling, and alternative splicing are also known to play an integral role in TERT regulation. Methods: Using nanopore Cas9 targeted sequencing, we characterized allele-specific methylation in...
